Introduction Welcome to GreenMech’s catalogue! We are delighted to showcase our range of world-class wood chippers and shredders. Back in 2013, GreenMech celebrated the double milestone of 20 years manufacturing wood chippers and Chairman Tony Turner’s 50 years in engineering. Tony formed GreenMech Ltd in 1993 to design, manufacture and market a British range of wood chippers and shredders to professional arborists, landscapers, contractors and local authorities across the world. Over the last two decades, GreenMech has successfully developed a unique and innovative range of professional machines which are now exported to over 30 countries. Among many significant achievements are a prestigious Queen’s Award for International Trade in 2005 and a second for Innovation in 2009.
Very much a family-run enterprise, in 2002, GreenMech was joined by Tony’s son Jonathan in the role of Managing Director. Following that, Jonathan’s cousin David Turner became Operations Director and now Tony’s grandchildren, Guilhem and Emma Pages-Turner head up the French side of the company. These two represent the third generation of the Turner family to become involved in this award-winning business. Since 2007, our Midlands-based factory site has expanded by 50 per cent and we now employ over 85 people including three new engineering apprentices. Export sales have doubled since the financial crash of 2008 and, in tandem with that rise, our world-wide sales and support service, through appointed dealerships across four continents, continues to flourish.
We are passionate supporters of British manufacturing and work proactively with our regional Chamber of Trade & Commerce to lobby the UK government on its behalf. Since 2006 GreenMech have partnered with the UK Health & Safety Executive in their ‘Buy Quiet’ campaign to reduce workplace noise emissions. Jonathan Turner says:
“ We are proud of our achievements over the last 23 years and are feeling positive and excited about the future. We look forward to improving and developing our products and, above all, keeping our customers happy.”

Innovative Engineering We have a proud heritage of ground-breaking inventions GreenMech has been creating industry standards for almost 25 years and constantly brings new ideas and improved performance to wood chipper production. Our reputation for innovation goes back for more than fifty years. From dialogue with customers and dealers, ideas are fed to our design and development team who then turn them into reality. The result of this collaboration has been a number of groundbreaking products that allow for safer, faster and less noisy operation. From the development of quieter machines to the award-winning SAFE-Trak and the revolutionary Disc Blade cutting system, all have ultimately added value to our customers’ and user offerings.
The original SAFE-Trak extension system In 1999, at the request of several customers, GreenMech produced the UK’s first tracked wood chipper. At the time we thought the market would be small, but we were wrong, as significant UK and European sales followed. Designed on a conventional track carrier - similar to that of mini excavators - we soon found out the limitations and frequently found ourselves stuck on top of tree stumps and unable to climb slopes due to either instability or restrictions with oil flows to the engine. After further years of research and development, the SAFE-Trak was launched in 2002. This brand-new design broke the mould because it was the first chipper that was both tracked and narrow – increasing accessibility – but which could safely operate on slopes and embankments. Since its introduction into the professional arb world, the SAFE-Trak has become one of the most popular models in the GreenMech range. A particular favourite with de-veg contractors who work to maintain highways, power lines and railway networks, the SAFE-Trak has the capacity to go virtually anywhere. Its innovative patented track-extension system extends each track independently to give up to 550mm ground clearance, enabling it to access the most difficult terrain. By extending only one track, slopes up to 35° can be traversed in complete safety, allowing the chipper to be closer to the job in hand, saving both time and money. One of the SAFE-Trak models has the option to have the rubber tracks fit neatly under the chipper body so that when fully retracted the SAFE-Trak’s minimum width is only 740mm, allowing it to fit through a standard 760mm gateway.

The revolutionary Disc-Blade chipping system The vulnerability of conventional straight blades, highlighted by rental companies, when contaminants such as soil and nails are inadvertently introduced into the chipper, means that users often find that sharpening and even the replacement of blades become necessary all too frequently. Following the introduction of the GreenMech Disc Blade system in 1995, the once, timeconsuming, frequent sharpening of dulled straight blades has been greatly reduced. As a result, these pioneering round blades are now the preferred choice with many contractors. Unless requested, all GreenMech hydraulic machines are fitted with Disc-Blades as standard.
Reasons to choose Disc-Blades over conventional blades • • • • •
Significant cost savings 600% more blade life Reduction in noise emissions Less power requirement Less maintenance
The Disc-Blade system, with its slicing action as opposed to chopping, is 1.5dB quieter than conventional straight blades, according to data obtained from the recognised standard noise test for wood chippers. It is worth noting that for every 3dB reduction in noise emissions the sound pressure on the ears is reduced by a massive 50 per cent.
By loosening the retaining bolt, the Disc-Blades can be rotated in either direction. If damage occurs to the blade through insertion of contaminants such as stones or nails, the damaged section can simply be positioned away from the cutting area.
Conventional straight blades are more susceptible to damage and therefore will need to be replaced more frequently for optimal performance. When sharpened and refitted, the distance between the anvil and blade also needs to be adjusted. This does not apply to Disc-Blades, as they are sharpened from the rear so the front face does not alter and the gap remains constant.
Operating cost comparisons from figures given to us by a ChipMaster 220 user compared to his experience with a competitor’s machine of similar size. Annual saving using Disc-Blades based on 450 hours chipping:
When the Disc-Blades are used, only 30 per cent of their circumferences come into contact with the woody material, hence the blades can be turned to the next sharp section when the edge has worn. This allows the blades to be turned twice before they need to be re-sharpened, in essence giving you three blades in one.

GreenMech - Setting a new standard
Wide infeed chute
Outstanding Disc-Blade system**
All models come with a large infeed chute for easy disposal of awkward bushy brash.
As standard our professional wood chipper range comes fitted with our patented, Disc-Blade system which can give up to 120 hours chipping before re-sharpening and up to 900 hours before replacement.
No-Stress control and hydraulic feed rollers** GreenMech offer either twin vertical or twin horizontal hydraulic feed rollers to powerfully crush woody material. These are governed by the advanced No-Stress control system, giving effective throughput management which helps prevent blockages.
Letterbox opening*
Powerful engine
A letterbox throat enables heavily forked branches and brash to be easily processed, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of chainsaw cuts per day and making the job safer whilst saving you time and money.
A varied choice of world-class engine makes such as Kubota, Briggs & Stratton, Yanmar and Honda, provides flexibility for each end-user to have a power source and fuel type that matches each application and budget.
Versatile discharge chute**
Outstanding paint quality
Disc Blade Sharpener
A 280-degree rotation on the discharge chute allows it to be positioned to discharge in the safest place and then be repositioned for transportation.
All metal components manufactured in-house by GreenMech go through a vigorous three-stage paint technique which we are proud to state exceeds the 1000-hour salt spray test. To achieve this exacting benchmark we shot blast, powder prime and powder coat each metal panel which is then subjected to oven curing at 200°.
For those operators who have several GreenMech machines employed on contracts or hire fleets, the GreenMech Disc Blade Sharpener is an ideal addition to your arsenal. Designed for quick and efficient sharpening of GreenMech disc blades, means that a complete sharpening process can be completed in minutes.
This process enhances the build quality and helps keep the machine looking good and retain a good resale value for years to come.
Simple mounting of disc blades into a special spring-loaded cradle, presents the disc at precisely the right angle to the grinding stone maintaining the right chipping profile. A simple, manually operated rotating handle, moves the blade across the grinding face until the blade has been sharpened. The GreenMech Disc Blade sharpener includes a traditional, secondary wheel for every day use in the workshop. For those GreenMech operators who prefer the convenience of factory or dealer sharpened blades, this service remains fully available.
Homologation** All of GreenMech’s road tow wood chippers and bespoke trailers come with a Certificate of Conformity to show they are fully homologated and compliant with the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA) legislation.

Why it’s good to Buy Quiet Wood chippers are some of the noisiest machines working in the urban environment and because of this, GreenMech have long been at the forefront of the technological drive to engineer quieter machines. For several years we have also been keen supporters of the UK Health & Safety Executive’s Buy Quiet campaign to highlight issues around noise-induced hearing loss in the workplace. As a result of our ongoing mission, we have produced probably the quietest chippers on the market, achieved in part thanks to the Disc-Blades, the insulated steel chassis that protects the engine, and a novel means of extracting the hot air and exhaust heat from the acoustic engine housing via the chipper chamber.

Chippers vs Shredders Principles of chipping
Principles of shredding
The most widely used wood chippers are the conventional flywheel-type which have two, three or four straight knives bolted to a flywheel. Rotating at high speed, the knives pass close to a shear bar or anvil, which acts as a bed knife to chip against.
Among the most widely used shredding principles is the hammer mill, which uses a series of metal straps arranged on a shaft rotating at high speed. The material is hammered against a curved screen through which the material is forced. The holes in the screen are usually less than 600mm wide.
For efficient chipping, it is essential to have sharp knives and, providing contaminated material is not put through the machine, knives will require sharpening every 25 to 30 hours. Two powerful infeed rollers are desirable to ensure difficult material is pulled into the machine and forced against the knives. Some chippers have problems with green waste, wet conifer and sinewy material, so a powerful air blast is vital to avoid blockages, and to expel the chipped material out through the discharge chute to the desired location. When having a demonstration, we recommend that you test the machine on all the types of material you are likely to require chipping.
GreenMech’s Disc-Blade technology The Disc-Blade chipping system uses 100mm diameter high-grade steel circular Disc-Blades. Their curved cutting edge slices the wood, making them less susceptible to damage and they are also 1.5dB quieter than standard straight blades. Disc-Blade technology has the advantage in that each blade can be rotated to the next sharp section when the cutting edge has worn. This can be done twice before resharpening is needed, thus dramatically reducing operating costs and downtime.
Disc-Shred The patented Disc-Blade shredding system developed for GreenMech, improves performance, whilst reducing both power requirements and operating costs. It consists of a series of Disc-Blades on an auger-type shaft which rotates at high speed inside a drum. The Disc-Blades, being angled to the rotor, both shred and convey the material towards and through a screen into the rear of the chipper flywheel and out through the discharge chute. As Disc-Blades can also be rotated twice as their edges need to be re-sharpened, these in essence give you three blades in one. 45
Flail-type shredders, which are generally used on wider machines, have a high-speed rotor to which are mounted flails of various shapes and sizes, depending on the manufacturer. Material is loaded onto a hopper and conveyed into the flails which shred the material. In some cases, it can also be forced through a screen and either deposited on the ground or conveyed upwards into a lorry or skip. Flail-type shredders probably require up to 300 per cent more horse power per ton of material than chippers. Tub grinders were developed in the USA to reduce the volume of construction site waste. Most use a heavy rotor with rigidly-mounted hardened-steel projections which grind the material against heavy, variable-size screens. Material is loaded into a tub above the rotor and typically, they use between 300 to 600hp. All forms of organic green waste material can be processed.
